[opensuse] disable login authentication in imap
Hello, I set up imap temporarily to get mail off a server, however when trying to retrieve mail with username and password from Thunderbird I find an error in the server's logs; May 6 16:11:05 example_server imapd[5016]: Login disabled user=user1 auth=user1 host=[192.168.1.100] This is only temporary so I am looking for a quick fix, since I don't intend to leave imap on the server. I think imap wants to use pam to authenticate, but I don't mind having clear text passwords go through. Any ideas how to enable the login? Suse 10.2 Thank you, James -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

This seems to be UW-Imap. It doesn't offer auth unless the connection is encrypted. You need to create a ssl certificate and set up TLS encryption to authenticate. -- Sandy List replies only please!

Create certificates in /etc/ssl/certs to allow secure authentication for imaps on port 993 UW openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -out imapd.pem -keyout imapd.pem -days 365 openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -out imapsd.pem -keyout imapsd.pem -days 365 put in /etc/ssl/certs -- David C.

You should see something like this: May 7 01:41:55 nimrodel imapd[651]: imaps SSL service init from 192.168.1.12 May 7 01:42:01 nimrodel imapd[651]: Authenticated user=pruebas host=nimrodel.valinor [192.168.1.12] mech=PLAIN May 7 01:42:07 nimrodel imapd[653]: imaps SSL service init from 192.168.1.12 May 7 01:42:07 nimrodel imapd[653]: Authenticated user=pruebas host=nimrodel.valinor [192.168.1.12] mech=PLAIN

No way, that does not work. You have to tell thunderbird to use SSL. TLS or plain will not work, nor secure password. I assume you are trying uw_imap. Assuming you use xinetd, you need to configure /etc/xinetd.d/imap like this: pop2, pop3, disable. imap, disable (they will not work). service imaps { disable = no socket_type = stream protocol = tcp wait = no user = root server = /usr/sbin/imapd flags = IPv4 } - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
